The secret files of the Ventureverse

Tonight's the night! Spark up a bowl of popcorn and set your Tivo to "stun," because at long last The Venture Bros. returns to the airwaves at MIDNIGHT tonight (EST...I actually have no idea when we're on anywhere else).

And really...set that Tivo...because this premiere is a strange one that might require additional viewings to fully comprehend. But we're terribly proud of it. The only hint I'll give you as to how to mentally navigate this episode's convoluted timeline is: keep an eye on Hank's hair.

As readers of this LiveJournal are well aware, we split our fourth season into two halves of eight episodes each, so this is the first of eight episodes airing consecutively through the fall. The second eight will air some time next spring...because we're making those now. How's that going? Pretty good, actually, though stressful as always. I've just turned in the sixth script, Doc's about to turn in the seventh, and then the two of us will collaborate, as we always do, on the finale. Some at the network have called these our "best scripts yet," so I guess we're doing something right. But you'll have to wait till the spring to judge for yourselves.

In the meantime, enjoy the first eight...

We Love You,

JP

P.S. Go see A Serious Man and Capitalism: A Love Story. They're both kind of a bummer, but they're both excellent.

I set my DVR last night just in case I feel asleep like the giant dork I can be, but now it seems it will serve the purpose of allowing me to watch it twice so I catch everything - sweeeeet. Thanks for all the hard work you and Doc do. It's much appreciated!

Thank you!!

Thanks for all the work you and Doc have put in on this season (and all the others!). As a huge fan, I really appreciate that while this is something you love, it's also a lot of hard work. So thank you.

Also, I have seen Capitalism, and agree that it is a major bummer. The bigger bummer, though, is the fact that A Serious Man hasn't shown up in my vicinity yet. My Coen Brothers jones is almost as bad as my Venture Bros. jones at this moment.
